If I didn't think intelligent women blessed by the bloom of beauty no matter how hard they might some times be to look at, I might never have opened my first philosophy book.
Aristippus had a daughter who taught after he died, and she was called- the light. Knowing little of the man I still recognize a kindred spirit. His girlfriend, the mother of his daughter, told him she was pregnant, and he said you could no more say it was me than tell which thorn had caught you when running through a thorn bush. Can you imagine what an ass he felt like when he came to accept rather than deny?
